I am rereading the novels of George MacDonald. So much more depth is discovered in the 2nd reading of that which is well written. Could the same be true of that which is fearfully and wonderfully made?

“The parson held, not only that to teach is the best way to learn, but that the imperfect are the best teachers of the imperfect.”

“So I lay thinking- or more truly I hope, being thought into…”

To see Your face

April 11, 2010

During the time of Worship this morning, I heard a worship chorus for the 1st time.  The following words stood out while it was being sung:

love thee more dearly,

Peace That Passes Understanding

October 31, 2009

As a child I learned a song entitled, I’ve Got the Joy.  The special appeal was the motions.  But as I learned it the words went, I’ve got the joy, joy joy, joy down in my heart, up in my head, down in my feet I’ve got the joy, joy, joy joy all over me, [...]

October 23, 2009

John 10:27 says, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” NAS
The other day I called my oldest daughter’s home and her 3 year old, Uriah, answered the phone.  I said “Hi”, and he immediately responded, “Hi Pa!”.  I hadn’t yet told him who was calling.  Based on the time [...]
